What if the leaders the world needs right now have been in front of a classroom all along?

Our Marketing & Communications Director, Sam, wrote a love letter to educators, and we think you'll want to share it with every teacher in your life.

From rage-whistling lumberjack woodshop teachers to band directors who somehow transformed post-lunch sugar chaos into Bach, middle school teachers have the exact skills our world needs most right now.

"Leaders who can bring together groups of disparate individuals, most of whom are in a challenging emotional state, and convince them to play their parts like blue velvet."

To every educator we've had the privilege of working alongside for 50+ years, this one's for you.

Young poets. Real impact. Our My Voice. My Time! Spoken Word Showcase was a powerful night of youth-created and performed Spoken Word poetry.
